JT Images Best of 2009 | Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and Banff Wedding Photography

Johnny Tran — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:07:25 +0000

2009 was an amazing year personally for me and for JT Images. We had the honour of photographing 21 weddings and also did 2 trash the dress and a day after wedding session. We shot weddings in Calgary, Edmonton, Banff and Red Deer. Somewhere in there I also did 15 engagement sessions. On top of that, I hosted my own “Just to Inspire” wedding photography workshop for the first time ever, here in Calgary. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family and friends, and especially Ryan, who assisted me on 95% of the weddings. Muchos gracias, mi amigo!

My biggest thanks goes out to all my wonderful and amazing clients. I am truly honoured to have been chosen to photograph such an important event in your lives and to be a part of it. I really hope you will cherish all the wonderful images we made together, for all eternity. I know I will!

Once I finished the last wedding of the season, I couldn’t wait to get started on my yearbook and this slide show. My book hasn’t arrived yet, but when it does, I’ll be sure to share that with you all. But for now, here are the images that made it in the book in a slide show presentation. It was hard to narrow it down to 140 images, out the tens of thousands that I shot last year, but I did it. Well, what are you waiting for??? Hit play!

Kelly & Mark’s Wedding at Nakota Lodge

Johnny Tran — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:38:53 +0000

I have been meaning to put this wedding on the blog since last week. I finally made it to my computer after a busy wedding and Thanksgiving weekend. Kelly and Mark got married at the beautiful Nakota Lodge (about 45 minutes from Calgary) in September, nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. It was a beautiful autumn day and it couldn’t have been more perfect…. well maybe except for the wind. But even the wind couldn’t ruin K&M’s day. We did all of our photography in and around the lodge. We had many opportunities to take advantage of the beauty that mother nature gave us. Kelly & Mark are at the top of my list as one of the most laid back, most fun and easy going couple I have had as clients. The reception venue decorated by Mary Swaffield from Lavish Designs was stunning, making it one of the nicest decors I have seen so far this year. Photos of the wedding venue will be on her website soon if you want to see her “lavish design”.

Congrats Kelly & Mark! Thank you so much for treating me so well throughout the whole day and being so easy to work with. Your personalities are a perfect match and your love for each other is very inspiring. I am honored and glad to have met you both and have been an important part of your special day.

Jillian & Rob | Banff Destination Wedding Photographer

I feel in love with both Jillian and Rob, when I did their engagement photography in Canmore back in December. Jillian had to book me over the phone because she going to school in Ontario. Jillian is originally from Grande Prairie, AB and Rob hails from the Netherlands. They both wanted to get married in our beautiful backyard in Banff, AB at the gorgeous Juniper Inn. Who can blame them? This was my first destination wedding even though I didn’t go anywhere. I don’t remember meeting anyone at the wedding that was from Calgary. J&R met at a wedding in the Netherlands a few years ago and had along distance relationship since. But we all know the bond of love is stronger than the best crazy glue. These 2 were soooooo meant for each other. They feed off each other’s energy and you can tell they dearly love and miss each other very much. The connection you see between them is real. I am so happy for the both of them, now that they can be together and inseparable for the rest of their lives. I am excited to now say I have friends in the Netherlands that I can visit the next time I am in Amsterdam.

Thank you Jillian and Rob for having me be a part of your huge, huge, huge day! Your wedding was spectacular down to every detail. It was amazing to see how many people travelled such long distances to witness your marriage. I can see why they did. You both are amazing people. I wish you all the success and luck in your future endeavours, as you begin your journey together.

Kim & Ryan – Just Us Session | Banff Wedding Photography

Johnny Tran — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:53:26 +0000

Kim and Ryan couldn’t book me shoot their wedding in July, so they booked me for a Just Us session a few days after their wedding. They booked their honeymoon in Banff, at the Banff Springs Hotel, and asked if I would be willing to come out there and shoot some romantic portraits for them. Of course I said yes and we had such a steamy session! It was easy shooting them and getting them to connect. After all this was their honeymoon! Congrats Kim & Ryan. May your lives be filled with joy and happiness. Thanks for inviting me out to Banff and spending a few hours with you guys.

Jillian & Rob are my first ever destination wedding couple and I didn’t have to leave Alberta. Rob lives in the Netherlands and Jillian is from Grand Prairie, AB (but lived in Ontario). They both wanted to have their wedding in our beautiful backyard, Banff. Yes, they had a long distance relationship the whole time and now finally they can be inseparable forever. This is just a sneak peek so I’ll tell you more about this fabulous couple who are soooo in love with each other when they come back from their honeymoon in Mexico

For now, enjoy these 2 photos. We got a lot of great stuff in Banff, and I feel very lucky to have been your wedding photographer for the day.
